The premise
AI can take a standard pre-op checklist and produce a plain-language translation in the patient's preferred language with a back-translation for verification.
What AI does well here
- Translate clinical instructions into 6th-grade reading level in the patient's language
- Produce a back-translation so a clinician can spot meaning shifts
What AI cannot do
- Confirm the patient understood without a teach-back conversation
- Substitute for a certified medical interpreter for consent
